MetalVPS Deal: Dedicated Server Share in Virginia, $15/mo

Looking for a powerful bare-metal machine without paying for a full dedicated server? MetalVPS is offering a low-end dedicated server share in Vint Hill, Virginia, USA. Members split one OVH SYS-LE-1 server with a Xeon D-2123IT CPU, 32 GB ECC RAM and 2 x 4 TB storage, and get their own shell account with Incus installed, so you can launch Linux containers and KVM virtual machines on your own terms. The share costs $15.00 per month.
